Welcome to Cruise critic,:D

How exciting to be going on your first cruise. It has been a while (mid 2014)but beers were around $6-7.

Thank you :)

Is the premium package available on P&O ? Thought I read somewhere, where it was now available at a cost of $69 per day.... We previously have had the package on other cruise lines but haven't been on PO for a while but recently booked for for this NYE on Pearl and I thought I saw where they had bought in the drink packages.. Am I dreaming.. :p

Thanks for any replies :)

I think P&O have a promotion where on cruises over a certain length (I think it is 9 days) the drinks package is included. This might not have been offered when you booked. It is also possible that the price of the cruises was increased to allow for the drinks package. :)

I think it is for selected cruises of 7 days or more. P&O have not increased prices; in fact they have decreased prices by several hundred dollars on some 9-10 day cruises for 2016. Not for all cruises I gather. I read in another place that passengers who had booked prior to the offer of the drinks package AND the fall in price have successfully cancelled their earlier booking and rebooked at the new fare saving $s. It was not worth it for me; I already had the PB Package, OBC and other perks plus one of the few modified accessible cabin for my aunt at a good price for the package. My information on rebooking applies to Aria and may not apply to other ships.

 

I wonder what the bar and coffee queues will be like with all those passengers with PB Packages???

P&O Have increased the prices for the so called Free Drinks Package , a cruise I looked at on the Pearl had the Free drinks package included or if you don't want the Free Drinks package the price drops $700, so more false advertising we all know nothing is Free
